My New Marketing Basket
So, today as I wended my way around the Farmer’s Market with MY NEW MARKETING BASKET that I bought for TOO MUCH $$ at WHOLE FOODS (My Birthday is Monday, so I bought it anyway), I started thinking (AS ONE SHOULD) about “How am I going to Cook this stuff I am Buying Mainly on Impulse?”
That got me thinking about what I am going to cook this week. Then I had this AMAZING thought: I should make a LIST!
A Better Picture of My New Marketing Basket
I bought some gorgeous baby turnips. What goes with Turnips? MEATLOAF!
My garden is full of CILANTRO. What can I make with it? BURRITOS!
My garden is full of Arugula. I like Arugula on Hummus Sandwiches. HUMMUS!
My Mechanic told me his Grandmother’s Carne Guisada Recipe. I want to make it. CARNE GUISADA!
I have been wanting to make Fish Chowder for a long time. FISH CHOWDER!
I have some mozzarella I need to use up. PIZZA!
Also I need to make Marinara and Pasta and Garlic Bread. WOW I AM PLANNING TO MAKE TOO MUCH FOOD!
Any one of these dishes lasts the two of us half a week. Hmm. So, which ones would I have to make to use up things that are going to go bad? Pizza and Meatloaf.
PIZZA AND MEATLOAF IT IS. Stay Tuned for my Fantastic Pizza and Meatloaf Recipes.
Gorgeous Baby Turnips ($2) which I shall prepare in the French Fashion: Turnips Glaces
